TEXTUAL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Thinking about the poem
1. What does the young man mean by ‘great honey-coloured, ramparts at your ear’? Why does he say that young men are ‘thrown into despair’ by them?
Ans: By ‘great honey coloured/ramparts at your ear’ the poet means the golden outer parts of the young woman ‘s ears. They are ugly and so young men are’ thrown into despair ‘ by them.
2. What colour is the young woman’ s hair? What does she say she can change it to? Why would she want to do so?
Ans: The colour of the young woman ‘s hair is yellow. She can change her hair to black, brown or carrot. To look attractive and win love she would want to do so.

Ans: Objects like car, phone or dress etc have different colours, designs, portability etc. These qualities make one object more desirable than another.
While selling something I shall first emphasise the get up of object and then its colour and design.
4. What about people? Do we love others because we like their qualities, whether physical or mental? Or is it possible to love someone ‘for themselves alone’? Are some people ‘more lovable’ than others? Discuss this question in pairs or in groups, considering points like the following.
i) A parent or Care given’s love for a newborn baby, for a mentally or physically challenged child, for a clever child or a prodigy.
ii) The public’s love for a film star, a sportsperson, a politician, or a social worker.
iii) Our love for a friend, or brother or sister.
iv) Your love for a pet, and the pet’s love for you.
Ans: We love others because we like their qualities. Both physical and mental qualities are taken into consideration. It is also possible that people love others ‘for themselves alone’.

i) Parents ‘s love their children irrespective of their quality but for the sake of love itself.
ii) Public love for a filmstar, a sports person, a politician, or a social worker is situational. Some times one is made hero but at times they are forgotten.

iv) I love mu pet but I am not affected by the pet’s love towards me.
5. You have perhaps concluded that people are not objects to be valued for their qualities or riches rather than for themselves. But else where yeats asked the question. How can we separate the dancer from the dance? Is it possible to separate the person himself or herself from how the person looks. Sounds, walks and so on? Think of how you or a friend or member of your family has changed over the years. Has your relationship also changed? In what way?
Ans: in fact, it is rather difficult to separate ‘the dancer from the dance’. But one’s activity varies with the times and change of situation. It should be kept in mind that a person has manifold potentialities.
Yes, a member of our family has changed over the years. It has happened due to change of situation and economic change. Relationship has also got changed unknowingly. Artificiality has expt up in between behaviour and also in between relationship.
